Mastering RSI: A Complete Guide to Momentum, Regimes, Reversals & Professional Signals
Difficulty: (Advanced)
This article goes far beyond the basic idea of “RSI = overbought/oversold.” If you want to truly master RSI as a momentum gauge, trend filter, reversal tool, and structure confirmation model, this guide is for you.
WHY MOST TRADERS MISUSE RSI
Most traders use RSI in the simplest way:
RSI above 70 = sell
RSI below 30 = buy

This leads to shorting strong trends and catching falling knives.
RSI is not a reversal button. RSI is a momentum translator.

To master RSI, you must understand:
Trend regimes
Momentum pressure
Acceleration and deceleration
Failure swings
Divergences
Trend vs range behavior
Multi-timeframe alignment
Structure confirmation

RSI shows the strength behind price, not just extremes.
